Tourists plunge 100 feet to their death while taking selfie

A British woman and Australian man have died after falling 100 feet off a beach wall in Portugal while taking a selfie.

The man, who was in his 40s, and the woman in her 30s were apparently taking a picture on top of a wall that overlooks Pescadores beach in Ericeira when they plunged to their deaths between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m.

Common sense rules for smartphones should, at a minimum, include a background check (since so many people to their deaths stepping back toward the precipice), and a national registry of people with no common sense who insist on carrying a smartphone. There might possibly be a move to outlaw smartphones that have Facetime app installed.

Something that doesn't get enough attention is; how will those radio waves effect your brain long term? It's no different than holding a radio, or wifi if you have a smart phone, to your head for the entire day.

Could there be a link between excessive cell phone usage, and the seemingly pandemic rise in autism today?
